I find that he reminds me of Pete Martel, in his way of talking, walking and manners. I am waiting for a "There was a fish in the percolator" scene.
I feel like this season the Lodge's influence might be leaking into the world, causing all sorts of havoc with the timelines. It could possibly be because of this Mother entity. I also have a theory that the Arm was forced to change his appearance because of the influence of the Mother possibly. Then again, there could have just been a long pause between the shooting at the RR and Jesse's appearance at the Station. Who knows?
Anyone else think he looks like Sam - the kid who was killed by the Mother back in Ep 1? Coincidence?
I thought the same at first, and had to look up the actors' names to see that it was two different guys.
I think it's through Holcomb we learn about the time lines. He stops in with Hawk and Truman and wants to show his new 20-- car. I expect that we will see him show his new car soon to Truman.
In the same episode two other things will happen:
1. After Bobby and him finish up with the gun minivan scene and Holcomb gets into a very old car OR his new car that's been in an accident. Thus showing that some scenes aren't days apart but possibly years.
2. We see Holcombs new car and then we learn what year it is in Vegas.
Now this puts the Bobby/Truman/Hawk/Log Lady search for Jack Rabbits pass either in the future or the past compared to the other timelines. Why? Who knows yet.
